Man shoots estranged wife's family in Baldwin Park in apparent murder-suicide, authorities say

"A man opened fire inside the Baldwin Park home of his estranged wife's family - killing two people and critically wounding a 10-year-old girl - before fleeing to Anaheim and taking his own life on Monday, authorities said. Baldwin Park police officers responded to the 12700 block of Royston Street just before 5 a.m. Tuesday and found three people suffering from gunshot wounds inside, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, which is assisting in the homicide investigation."

"Yulan Wang, 61, and her husband Qiufu Jiang, 61 were pronounced deceased inside the home, while the 10-year-old girl was transported to a hospital, where she is listed in critical condition, according to the Sheriff's Department. Investigators determined that the suspected shooter, Qihao Jin, 35, targeted the location of his estranged wife's family; however, she was not at home at the time of the attack."

"A multi-county search for Jin unfolded as homicide investigators worked throughout the day and evening to track him down, according to the Sheriff's Department. His vehicle was identified late Monday night and an alert was sent to local law enforcement agencies. Anaheim police officers located Jin and his vehicle in the 100 block of Vermont Street in Anaheim where he was pronounced deceased from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to the Sheriff's Department."
